Does the Facebook Scribe Server support authenticating its clients and securing the client/server connection?


I plan on running a Facebook Scribe Server on an AWS EC2 providing logging services to several Heroku hosted Rails clients.

Is there a mechanism to authenticate Scribe clients in cloud-based scenarios like one described above? If so, can the resulting connections be secured using SSL?


Solution

  • There is this pull request I submitted that uses SSL not only for transmission, but also for host verification.

    You probably wouldn't be able to use it in Heroku, though. :-(
